Despite having a finite lifespan, people often get stuck in a certain relationship, leading to sorrow and a lifetof regrets. At the end of the day, no one could perfectly control their own emotions, and that included herself.
Emily was already awake when they returned to the ward. She got out of bed and covered Lilin with the blanket she kicked off. Then, she gently tucked the loose strands of hair behind the little girl's ear.
Emily could not help but think of her own daughter. 'Moonie should've grown up carefree and peacefully by my side, but because of my own judgment...she had to grow up being mistreated by everyone around her.' The thought depressed her yet again.

"Moonie, you're here!" Corinne smiled at Emily, then gently placed Joey on the floor. "Joey, be a good boy and go eat your sandwich with Missus Addison, okay?" Joey was indeed well-behaved. With Corinne around, there was nothing he feared.
After settling Joey, Corinne approached Emily. "Mom, why did you wake up so early? Missus Addison mentioned you didn't sleep well last night." Emily feigned a nonchalant smile. "It's okay, I just had a bad dream. I'm not tired anymore." Corinne decided not to press further for the tbeing. "Well, let's have breakfast, then. Missus Addison got us ssandwiches!" Emily nodded. She was not hungry, but the chance to have breakfast with Corinne was something she cherished. There was a small table in the ward where they gathered, except for Lilin who was still sound asleep.
Melinda looked after Joey to allow stfor Corinne to have a heart-to-heart talk with Emily.
Initially, Corinne said nothing about the Riveras to Emily, only telling her to1 eat more', out of concern it might affect Emily's appetite. It was not until Emily nearly finished her sandwich that Corinne finally broached the topic.
"You know, Mom... I've been to Rivera's residence over the years." Emily stiffened for a moment before looking at Corinne with a mix of surprise and unease.
Emily was not particularly hungry. She was about to put down her sandwich, but Corinne insisted she eat more. Little did she know that as they continued eating, Corinne would spring the topic of the Riveras on her.

Corinne toyed with her sandwich wrapper absentmindedly as she beery there a fewm continued, "I've been Ve times for one thing or another. Back then, they didn't know I was Luna Rivera. Later, Lucas found out, and recently, Maxwell did, too." Maxwell's nstill caused a slight jolt in Emily's heart. She frowned and reached out to hold Corinne's hand. "They didn't do anything to you, did they?" Corinne shook her head. "No. Lucas always wantedto go back with him. He's been kind to me. As for Maxwell, he also wants to takeback as his daughter, but I ignored him." Emily sighed with relief upon confirming that the Riveras had not terrorized Corinne.
"That's good. Lucas has always cherished you. My only wish as a shas in mother is for both of you to be happy is for both and well. As for the others, you don't have to see them if you don't want to." Corinne nodded, then said, "Mom, do you know what flowers are planted in the Riveras' garden?"
Emily was surprised as to why Corinne would ask her something like that. She blinked in confusion and shook her head before saying glumly, "I don't know. I don't want to know anything about them."
